ncLA - LA Fairytales: Swatches & Review

Press Sample

How is everyone's week going?? Hopefully smoothly and hopefully you're getting excited for the coming weekend! I have swatches from one of my favorite brands, ncLA, to share with you today!

An L.A. Fairlytale is a set of 3 super sparkly glitter toppers and 1 super unique crelly! I really love how these polishes look together and I tried to mix up the base color glitter combos to keep things interesting! Perhaps they won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoy the pairings! Let's take a look :)

Sally Hansen - Insta-Ombre: Swatches & Review

press sample 

Happy Wednesday, all! I have a quick post today with some new fun polishes by Sally Hansen to share today! When I first saw these Insta-ombre polishes I was so excited! The concept is that you use the glitter in various layers to build up a gradient/ombre effect.

Basically, you start with one coat over the full nail, then the next coat covers about 2/3 of the nail, and the final coat covers just a 1/3rd of the nail. So as you move down your nail, the coverage gets built up and the ombre look is created. Pretty cool!

Zoya - Paradise Sun Collection: Swatches & Review

press sample

As promised, here is the second part of the Zoya Summer collection I shared yesterday! This half of the collection, the Paradise Sun Collection, is made up of shimmers that mirror the creme shades we saw earlier. While I don't like this half of the collection as much (mostly because it's not creme...hey, I can't help what I love!), I do think they feel very tropical and pretty and the formulas were, for the most part, easy to work with.

Zoya - Island Fun Collection: Swatches & Review

nothing to disclose 

Hello, all! I hope your Monday is treating you nicely! I have the first half of the Zoya summer collections to share with you today, the Island Fun set! I love how Zoya releases a creme collection and a shimmer collection so there is something for everyone.

You might know by now that cremes are my heart and soul and this collection has me swooning. They are all super pigmented and just delicious hues. I like that they're not conventionally summer shades, yet they still manage to be summery and tropical. I'll have part two of the collection up on the blog tomorrow so stay tuned!
